Watching Mitosis in Living Cells
Description
Mitosis is the process of cell division that splits a cell’s genetic material equally into two daughter cells. It moves through six phases, and each phase has its own visible changes in the chromosomes and other cell parts. Fluorescence live cell imaging lets scientists watch these changes in real time.

Transcript
Mitosis is the highly organized and controlled division of nuclear contents that occurs during the cell cycle. Mitosis is fundamentally important for proper organismal development, and for tissue growth, maintenance, and repair. Disruption of this process has been indicated in certain diseases, like cancer. Live cell imaging v...
